    They aren’t listening with logic, they are listening with emotion. Their tiny minds are filling in the gaps of logic internally, creating countless fallacies to reaffirm their preconceived notions.

    They are morons whose minds are so avoidant of cognitive dissonance that they are hearing what they want to hear instead of what is actually being said.

      That was the case the first time around. I could get a sense of what people were getting out of his speeches. Now his dementia is so far off the cliff it’s stunning. Even more stunning, the media says nothing. And not just the oligarch media, none of them say a peep. Not AP News, not even the BBC.

        I once had someone tell me that they don’t go to NASCAR hoping for crashes, but they also don’t want to miss one of it happens.

        It is hard to imagine that they listen that long. Maybe they sell beer and stuff or maybe they go so they can say that they did.

        I’ve recently noticed people looking pretty glazed over on the clips I see.

          Talking about the people in the background? They look so bored I’ve wondered if they’re paid. Saw one audience that was clearly college-age kids and damn did they look paid to be there. Can’t quite get it across, but I got that vibe clearly.
